Our Vision

In the United Reformed Church each local church is responsible under God for its worship programme and its witness and service to the local community. We observe the gospel sacraments of baptism and holy communion and submit ourselves to the Bible as the highest authority for our faith and action.

At our Church in Pagham we hold regular church meetings of members, and an elected body of Elders shares the pastoral and spiritual leadership of the congregation with the Minister.​Like all URC churches we work in close co-operation with the local churches. We care for each other in the congregation, as well as extending our care to those in the wider community, recognising that the whole world is part of God's family. In our Sunday services we come together as a family of God to celebrate His love, power and blessings and hear his word.

​Our Vision“To make Jesus known through word and worship, and faith in action.” Acts 20:20… “ I will not be afraid to share with you the good things of God, we will teach you both publicly and privately in your homes”.

Our Values:

Jesus first! Christ is central to everything that we are, and everything we do. So we will present our Christian faith in relevant ways to all.

People second! We are a church where everyone is listened to, valued and cared for spiritually, emotionally and physically.

Ourselves third! We will demonstrate sacrificial love for God and one another.Worship with integrity, recognising that our worship is a way of life that honours God and our abiding in Him. We will be a worshipful, prayerful people, the people of God.​Generosity. We are generous in faith and in community, with our time, our finances, our gifts and talents.
